I have created an Excel database containing addresses (more specifically zip
codes). I then have attempted to mail merge them into Word and have been
having a heck of a time getting the zip codes to print properly. Each time I
attempt to print the labels (ie., zip code 08080) the first zero of the zip
code will not not print for some reason. I have gone back and tried to
change the format of the cell that holds the zip code and still it does not
work. I have changed the format from Zip to custom (00000) and still no
success. Any suggestions from others who have had the same problem and found
a remedy would be greatly appreciated.
